Huayin County, in this era when inn was not quite popular, it was located in a key transportation link between north and south, but there was an inn.

Song Laoshi, who was driving the car, carried Su Youdao into the inn and asked for a family to go to the room.

He regretted taking the next trip. Su You said that the money was rich enough, enough to make a profit in Puzhou City for a year, so he took the job happily. He handed the money to his wife and drove the cart on the road.

But who knew that Mr. Su was a ill. The first two days were fine. He looked a little depressed. Unexpectedly, his condition became more and more serious along the way. Song Laoshi was panicked. If Mr. Su died halfway through the road, he would be unable to explain it.

Song Laoshi took out a bunch of money from Mr. Su's bag, and persuaded him to coax the inn shopkeeper who was also unwilling to stay in the critically ill patient, nodded, carried Su Youdao into the room and placed it, scratched his head and thought about it, and went to the county to hire a doctor.

The doctor shook his head when he saw Su Youdao's condition, saying that he was not ill and needed to recuperate well. If he had to go on the road, he might die. Then he suddenly prescribed a lot of medicine.

Song Laoshi asked Su Youdao's money to ask the waiter in the store to take the medicine. Soon, a strong smell of medicine came out in Su Youdao's room and it didn't go away for a long time.

Su Youdao was filled with medicine by Song Laoshi, and fell asleep again. Song Laoshi was exhausted, so he hit the floor next to him and wanted to rest, but he could hear Su Youdao, who had a high fever, keep muttering, "The prince, the emperor," slowly stepped forward, and the better of the scroll...

Song Houshi was scared. Mr. Su was obviously about to die of illness. He was talking nonsense. He was going to die...

Song Hushi is very honest. He has never experienced any world and is timid. He is just a car driver. When he thinks of having to go to the government for life, waiting for Mr. Su's family to come, and interrogate him in every possible way, he is so scared that he is not good.

Song Laoshi, who was extremely scared, suddenly remembered that because he had a dispute with the shopkeeper whether Mr. Su would allow him to move in, he finally forgot to register his hometown and name, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. So he went to pick up the doctor, drove his cart, and ran away...

The inn shopkeeper jumped and cursed for an afternoon. When he was tired of scolding, he went to find Fang Zheng to be a middle-aged man, proving that Su Youdao was actually a patient left behind by the guest, and life and death had nothing to do with it. Then he pinched his nose and specially called a waiter to treat Su Youdao as a living horse.

Song Zhen was very honest and did not take Su Youdao's money bag and escape. There were a few ingots of gold and silver in the bag, which was enough to pay for his consumption in the store. So the shopkeeper didn't have to worry about paying out of his own pocket, but only worried that Mr. Su, who was wandering in the gate of hell, would die accidentally.

Ghost Pass, one of the three passes of Sanmenxia.

According to legend, when Dayu was controlling the flood, he dug a dragon gate and opened a pillar. In the middle of the Yellow River, three canyons of "people's gate", "ghost gate" and "shen gate", Sanmenxia was named after this. This section of water is extremely dangerous, and it is said that one will sink for every three boats passing by on average.

In fact, although it is not so exaggerated, you can imagine that it takes to pass the danger of Sanmenxia.

But the number of ships up and down has not decreased.

Because if you succeed in this shipping, the rich income you get is enough to compensate for the loss of the ship being destroyed and the life of the person being killed.

For goods, especially grain, this waterway is an important supply line.

Because although Guanzhong has plains, also known as wealthy, it is small and has limited capacity. Once the population expands beyond its carrying capacity, or if the food shortage occurs in a drought, it will be difficult to meet the local needs.

The more prosperous the times, the more people and the more people it is, the more tight the food it can supply in the local area. If you need to cross the Qinling Mountains and Bashan Mountains, it is simply unimaginable, so this waterway is particularly important.

In fact, during the Sui Dynasty, the disadvantage of Guanzhong as the capital was sometimes short of food. Emperor Wen of Sui once ran to Luoyang for temporary residence because there was no food in Guanzhong. Emperor Yang of Sui simply moved the capital to Luoyang in order to solve this problem, not because the novelists said they were greedy for the prosperity of Luoyang.

At this time, Guanzhong was the power center of the huge empire. In addition to the official population, there were also a large number of troops stationed in the army, consuming more food. Therefore, although this business road was dangerous, it was also extremely prosperous. Li Shimin was still in good times in this era, and later emperors often had to go from Chang'an to Luoyang for the sake of eating.

Later, when Emperor Gaozong was famine in Guanzhong, Emperor Gaozong asked the prince to stay in Chang'an and led a large group of people to Luoyang to "get out". Due to the urgent situation and the travel was rushed, some of the emperor's entourage starved to death halfway, which shows the serious shortage of food.

The worst thing was that during the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, the grain warehouses in Guanzhong were empty, and the imperial guards could not receive food, and they were about to mutiny. At this critical moment, the rice was transported. Emperor Dezong was overjoyed and ran to the East Palace to shout at the prince: "My father and son can survive!"

The dignified emperor actually came to this, so the decline of Chang'an later had nothing to do with it, because it was because of the transportation and geographical conditions at that time that it could no longer continue to assume the role of the capital.

At this time, Guanzhong is still OK. The transportation of the ancient Yellow River Road can basically meet the supply demand of the capital. Along the way, there are endless ships going east and west. When passing through some swamps, you can still see large areas of white swans flying here to live and spend the winter.

Some soldiers on the boat were bored, so someone shot birds with arrows and slingshots, but the boat could not be moored to the shore. Even if they were shot to death, they could not be carried on the boat and tasted a meal of swan meat.

Later, Li Yu discovered this situation and was furious. He punished the sergeant who used a slingshot for three meals and refused to eat. The sergeant who used a bow and arrow hit the bow of the ship on the grounds of unreasonable consumption of military weapons.

At that time, the ecology was incomparable to later generations. There were tens of thousands of white swans who came here to live in winter in later generations. At this time, there were not tens of thousands, and killing a few was nothing. So the soldiers just thought that General Manager Li was so angry because of his strict military management. However, they did not expect that this guy was still a protector of animal in his heart.

"Is it going to pass Sanmenxia?"

Li Yu pressed the homemade life jacket he wore in his robe, feeling worried.

A marching Sima said: "Yes, General Manager Li, our army's warships are huge, but if we have to pass these three levels, it cannot be said that there is no danger. Especially last night, it rained heavily upstream, and the water flow became even more urgent. If we could wait for a while and wait for the water to become smaller before leaving, it would be the safest..."

Li Yu said: "When will this flood be reduced?"

The marching Sima said, "A day and night, and at this time tomorrow, it should be normal."

Li Yu shook his head: "No, General Li Ji's light cavalry came out of the pass and marched very quickly. If we were to be with him for a day, we would be afraid that we would fall behind them. Now we don't know what the situation is with the King of Qi, so we can't delay it! Let's continue to order and prepare to pass the three levels, so that the soldiers can cheer up!"

Li Yu called out the order, and the flag and drum horn sounded. The ships in front and behind immediately took action. The ships were full of nervous sailors and soldiers. Li Yu subconsciously pinched the cork life jacket tied to his shoulders and back. If it were steel ships in later generations, he would not be nervous, but he really didn't support the ships these days...

The merchant ships behind have begun to prepare to enter Sanmenxia. Most of the passengers who tie the goods and fix the goods have returned to the cabin to prevent stumbles.

But Luo Badao ran to take care of Kuang Que'er. How could he not take care of Mrs. Luo, whom he had decided to take care of?

"Qi'er, don't worry. Mr. Luo's horoscope is strong. As long as you follow me, you must be shocked..."

As soon as Luo Badao said this, a big ship was passing by the opposite side. The water waves surged, and the hull suddenly shook. Luo Badao had no roots under his feet. With a "hey", he cut to the left and he turned out to the side of the ship.

Fortunately, Miss Que'er rushed forward with a quick step, and she fell down a thousand pounds under her feet. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Luo Badao's ankle...

Luo Badao was so scared that his face turned pale. He crawled back to the boat in a hurry, but didn't dare to stand up. He squatted there and said in surprise: "It's so dangerous! It's so dangerous! Lao Luo is not good at water. If he falls, he will die."

Kuang Que'er had taken off her shoes at this time, and her white feet were firmly fixed on the deck. She shouted angrily: "Get back to the room quickly and find a fixed thing to hug. Don't come out if you have nothing to do."

"Oh oh oh, listen to you." Luo Badao followed the good side, and did not stand up. He spread his legs wide, and moved sideways towards his cabin like a crab.

"This lazy guy..."
